    Portrait Of A Gentleman

    This charming mid-19th-century English oil painting depicts a dapper gentleman wearing a shirt with upturned collars, black cravat, and black frock coat.

    The gentleman’s outfit aligns with the fashions of the 1830s/1840s, probably around the time of Queen Victoria’s ascent. This was a period whereby menswear became somewhat less exaggerated than in the previous decade. A respectable male would avoid conspicuous decadence, opting instead for sophistication. A flick of the hair giving the impression of an active country lifestyle.

    The artist is unknown but they’ve captured his expression with deft handling. There’s a sense of his underlying spirit.

    Held in a splendid 19th-century carved frame.

    Overall size: 32½” x 37½” / 83cm x 95cm
